And that's assuming the swap from Magnetic Ride control and all the amenities of the ZL1 are roughly equivalent in price to the suspension, seats, and difference in wiring harness price (which is really the only difference between the SS, ZL1 and Z/28). *See Note below.

So, call it $59,995 (which we all know that $5 makes a huge difference in people's perception of price/value) and there's your Base MSRP for the new Z/28.

*Note: What other differences are there in the two cars?
-The Z/28 rear seat construction by itself is probably less expensive to build than the ZL1/SS rear seat construction.
-The reduction in insulation is a reduction in price (albeit small).
-The difference in hood price (and other carbon fiber parts) is probably a significant cost difference from the ZL1 to the Z/28, which probably offsets the price difference of the Z/28 Recaro seats or the ceramic brakes.

I think you are leaving out the high cost of those carbon ceramic brakes on the Z/28.
